Boox Note Mini C arrives as a compact color E Ink tablet with Android, smooth scrolling, and fingerprint security
Boox is preparing to launch the Note Mini C, a compact color E Ink tablet designed for readers, note-takers, and productivity users who want a lightweight device with more flexibility than a traditional e-reader. With an iPad mini-sized form factor and Android support, the Note Mini C aims to blend the comfort of paper-like reading with modern tablet features.
One of the standout features of the Boox Note Mini C is the company’s Smooth Refresh technology. This is designed to make scrolling text, browsing pages, and even playing videos feel more fluid than on typical E Ink devices. While E Ink screens are best known for reading comfort and long battery life, they often struggle with motion and refresh speed. Boox is positioning the Note Mini C as a more responsive alternative for users who want an e-reader that can handle more than static pages.
The device also includes dual speakers and a built-in microphone, giving it added versatility beyond reading and writing. Users can listen to music, audiobooks, or podcasts directly from the tablet, and the microphone makes it possible to participate in online calls. This gives the Note Mini C a stronger productivity angle, especially for students, remote workers, or anyone who wants a portable digital notebook with communication features.
Despite its expanded capabilities, the Boox Note Mini C remains lightweight. It weighs 300 grams, or 10.6 ounces, making it easy to carry in a bag and comfortable to hold for extended reading sessions. That compact size should appeal to users who want something more portable than a full-size E Ink tablet but more capable than a basic e-reader.
Power comes from a 3,150 mAh battery, which should suit the low-power nature of E Ink displays. The tablet also features a power button with an integrated fingerprint reader, allowing users to unlock the device quickly while adding an extra layer of security.
The Boox Note Mini C will be priced at $549.99. It is expected to become available for order soon through the company’s online store and Amazon.
For readers interested in the broader Boox lineup, the company also offers other E Ink devices such as the Go 10.3 Gen II Lumi, Go 6 Gen II, Palma 2 Pro, and Tappy. However, the Note Mini C stands out as a compact color E Ink tablet built for users who want reading, note-taking, audio, calls, and Android flexibility in one portable device.
